The price doesn't seem all that unreasonable. I paid a bit more for a pair of Alpinestars Parlor Boots. I'm, personally, very interested in these boots because they provide additional colorways (the Parlor boot is only available in black). What gives me pause is that the item description for these boots leaves me wondering if the protection provided is anywhere near as comprehensive as what I already own.

Bates does have a couple options that are American made with a bit more protection, but they are definitely not cheaper. I had high hopes for the Bates line of moto boots as I have other boots from them, but they only come in standard width.

Your boot does look good, no doubt. But, the Parlor looks just as good in my opinion...and it is also "all day comfortable". Plus it has reinforcement at toe, heel, and ankle. Also has waterproof liner. Your inclusion of Kevlar is innovative to be sure. However...isn't that overkill since the use of quality leather already mitigates abrasion resistance concerns?
